Is that rectangular hole in the rib for the servo?

 

[dhal22]

No, they are for the not needed cross braces onside the wing. Working on servo layout today.

 

[dhal22]

I'll post a photo of the cross braces tomorrow.

 

[dhal22]

A little bit of milling and lathe work tonight.

I'll post a photo of the cross braces tomorrow.

The inner wing cross braces are not needed, i just eliminated them from my build.

 

[dhal22]

Some gun bluing of the hinges before I Hysol them to the ailerons.

Pain in the butt to center drill tubing, twice and have the 2 holes parallel.

Even this isn't perfect. I used a center drill idea plus a square to try to line up the second hole with the first.

 

[dhal22]

I need a thicker slitting saw for the brass connectors so shifting back to the fuse. Still trying to glue the interior cloth, found online using wood glue might work. A little bit of bleed through but we'll see once the glue dries.

 

[dhal22]

Much better. Cloth is stuck good. A little bleed through but I'm happy. I think less glue will fix that.
